Crafting Community

Sammanfattning: WHY DO I DO THE THINGS I DO? ABSTRACT The bottom line in this project is that we are all different. We know, see, feel different things, we have varied skills, talents and possibilities. I believe in our differences as a great resource not only for developing and challenging ourselves as individuals and professional crafters, but also as a method to push the field of practice forward. I think that an extended and generous attitude for collaboration is crucial. I also see interdisciplinary practices as a dialogical source that can widen the language of craft and create a greater community that embrace a diverse variety of people, materials and doings. I like glassblowing, and I like people and the differences we own and I want to explore that together. That is the driving energy in my practice and in my identity as a Craftist. Crafting Community has been a test platform to explore norm creative participatory practices and dialogues in the field of glass and craft.
